Yeah, I always like to cross check by figuring the cost at 10 cents/kWh (most people pay more, but some pay less and 10 cents is a nice, round number). 12,000 kWh is $1200, obviously too high to be the
average monthly electric bill in the US (unless this inflation lasts a few more years, ha).
Have you done an
energy audit? It's a lot of work, but is the best way to size your system. You'll have to estimate since you aren't in the house yet. You might be able to use actual measurements from your previous house or friends/family with similar houses. A properly sized system not only produces enough energy (kWh) each day, it also produces enough power (kW) to handle your instantaneous peak load when a bunch of devices run at the same time.
Then consider seasonal variation. Summer A/C is usually the dominant electricity consumer in the south. In the north it's usually winter heat pump (if you go that route). Solar panel production also varies seasonally. You can use
PVWatts for your exact location to see the December vs. June difference, plus lots of other useful stuff.
The final sizing step is figuring out how to handle long, cloudy stretches.
Where are you located? Will your house be off-grid? Will it heat with a heat pump or natural gas/propane/etc.? These are the big questions. Fortunately the Signature Solar kit you selected is expandable, so you don't have to get every calculation perfect today.
